Algebra Curriculum Paper
Julia Landon College Preparatory and Leadership
Development School
Curriculum Paper
2010-2011
Ms. Hamlow
Seventh Grade Algebra I Honors
Mission Statement: Our mission at the Julia Landon College Preparatory and Leadership Development School is to create college bound students with a deep commitment to public service and a true understanding of their leadership skills within the global community.
Course Overview:
Algebra I Honors is a course which involves the structure and properties of the systems of real numbers. Problem solving techniques for various types of real world and algebraic problems are developed. Equations, inequalities, graphs, radicals, polynomials, and functions are some of the topics that will be simply yet thoroughly treated. Discussion of a variety of ways to solve problems is strongly encouraged. Successful completion of this course is based on student organization, participation, assignments, assessments and teacher judgment.
.
(Only seventh grade students may enroll in Algebra I Honors)
Educational Materials:
Textbook, Algebra 1 Glencoe McGraw-Hill (online)
Black 3-ring binder (1.5")
Dividers with 5 tabs labeled:
1) Homework/Class work (CW/HW)
2) Notes/references
3) Assessments
4) Graph Paper
5) Bell ringers
red pens for grading
#2 lead pencils
Pencil sharpener with holder for shavings
Ruler
Calculator (basic 4 function)
Notebook paper (loose leaf with 3-ring holes, not from a spiral notebook!)
Graph paper (4 squares per inch)-can also print from tkawas@mathwire.com for free.
Student Evaluation:
≈100 points Assignments– 5 or 10 points
≈100 points Quizzes– 5 to 30 points each quiz (announced and pop)
≈300-400 pts Tests- 3 to 4 each quarter, 100 points each
≈100 points Projects- 25-50 points each (detailed instruction and rubrics will be given)
50 points Binder- neat, complete and in order
200 points Final Exam- Accumulative for the quarter
Grade Point Average (GPA) = Total points earned ÷ Total points possible
Any extra credit offered will be offered to the whole class, not individually.
Projects accepted late will receive a letter grade reduction per each day.
Homework Policy:
All assignments must be written neatly and in PENCIL!
All problems must be written out and all work must be shown. In other words, when your parents or teachers read your work, they should be able to understand how you came up with the solution to the problem. Students will receive full credit for all problems written out and work shown, even if the problems are wrong. So please do your best at solving each problem! Compass Odyssey and GIZMOS will be assigned and counted as a homework assignment.
Complete assignment 5 or 10 points
Incomplete but more than ½ 3 or 6 points
No assignment 0 points
Using ink 0 points (if redone in pencil, 5 points)
No written problem (answers only) 0 points
“Late work” is not accepted. Math skills are building skills therefore it is imperative that assignments are completed and turned in on time.
Make-up Work Policy: It is the STUDENTS responsibility to refer to my math blog for work missed when absent. Students are expected to make-up missed assignments and to turn in them in at the beginning of class on the day they return. Grades will suffer when missed assignments are not completed and submitted. It is THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to talk to teachers and/or classmates about what was missed during an absence. It is a good idea to have the name and telephone number of a trusted classmate to contact about missed assignments when absent.
For each day absent, an equal number of days are allowed to complete make-up assignments. If an absence is due to planned travel, parents should notify teachers in writing at least two days prior to the absence to request assignments that will be missed.
In case of illness lasting three or more days, assignments may be requested through the Guidance Office at 346-5650 ext.114. Please allow 24-hours for work to be compiled.
Grade Recovery Policy: Students will be assigned Compass Odyssey for grade recovery as outlined in the Duval County Pupil Progression Plan found on the Duval County Public Schools web page.
Parent/Teacher Conferences: Please contact guidance at 346-5650 x 114.
Tutoring: Peer tutoring is encouraged throughout the week in class. In addition all students will have a 50 minute team time/resource class each day of the week. I will be available during this time if a student needs additional help. If a child needs extended tutoring time, High School students from Stanton and Paxon tutor for Community Service hours. Please call either school for more information. Stanton 630-6760 Paxon 693-7583
Personal tutor: Mrs. Dawkins 226-7567
Grading Scale: Students will be evaluated in accordance with the standard Duval County Public Schools’ grading scale. Quarterly averages are computed using test grades, projects, homework grades and daily performance grades. Letter grades will be assigned based on numeric averages as indicated:
90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
below 60 F
The Oncourse Parent Portal is available for your convenience. Please allow up to a week for grades to be posted as it takes time to grades papers and input them.
Other Information: Please refer to the Parent and Student Handbook for information on guidance services, attendance, morning tardy policy, dress code and more.
Hotmath.com is a great site for additional math help.
www.duvalschools.org/landon is the school website (access to teacher blogs).
hamlows@duvalschools.org is my email address.

Compass Odyssey Update
This week has been a very busy week for us all! We are finishing our final Benchmark Test today.
As a math class, we were also assigned the computer lab to work on Compass Odyssey. All students at this time should have completed the FCAT Prep Number Sense and Algebraic Thinking Tests in the FCAT Prep folders. Now that the tests are completed, the program has created a specific learning path based on the results of the individual student score. Now it is each students responsibility to work on those learning paths independently for homework. This is what they should be working on for 60 minutes a week. Again, the 60 minutes is due by midnight every Friday night and the new week begins Saturday morning. The learning paths provide interactive tutorials teaching students the concepts with which they need help.
REMINDER: Student homework has been given as a review for both Pre-Algebra and Algebra students. If a student is having difficulty with an assignment, they will have an opportunity to get help on the day the assignment is due as well as additional help thereafter.
